 Greetings Pete- The directions to get to the Tonopah Test Range, aka. Groom

Lake Test Site, Dreamland, The Ranch, S-4 or Area 51, are as follows. Drive

east out of Las Vegas like you are going to Salt Lake City on Interstae 15

until you come to the junction with Highway 93 at

 Moapa. Turn North on this highway until you get to the junction of Highway

23 which turns to the West towards Tonapah.  The road will bear to the

southwest and cross over a mountain range that is the  Pahranagat Range and

after it crosses this mountain range it will bear to the Northwest.  You will

now be in the northestern rim of the Tikaboo Valley. Just as you start to

bear to the north east you will see a mountain to the immediate west. This

mountian is Bald Mountain and is the peak that Cooper says that he crossed to

film video of the facility, which lies approximetely 12 miles to the south by

southwest of this peak.  If you stop on the road or keep a lookout along this

road to the west you will see what appear to be major dirt roads.  These are

not your normal Nevada dirt roads, but 25 foot to 30 foot wide dirt roads,

and they look very heavily driven (which they are).  To the south of Bald

Mountain are the Jumbled Hills over which these roads go to get to the site.

      Pete, it is very unlikely that you will get very far on these roads, as

test site police patrol them regularly.  Until recently, the property to the

west of the Jumbled Hills was public land and because of all the interested

bystanders that were constantly getting over the Jumbled Hills or the Bald

Mountain Range, they Air Force pressured the State of Nevada to sell over the

over 80,000 acres to the east of the Jumbled Hills to add security to the

site.

      In addition to possible scout ship sightings, which I suspect are being

flown by our people, there is the outside chance that you might catch a

glimce of Aurora, the 7,000 mile per hour replacement for the Blackbird.

Have funa dntake lots of videos and pictures.  You may get very lucky!!
